Suggestions for Cha Chaan Teng near Chinatown, New York

Chris C. • September 3, 2021Everything! The XO instant noodles with pork chop and salted duck egg rice with shrimp are my faves!

Kate C. • April 6, 2016A wonderful low-fuss Chinatown option that never disappoints. I love the pan fried steamed rice noodles. So much better than the dim-sum options surrounding it.

Jasmine M. • September 24, 2022Open late (right next to Basement). The spicy chicken wings and beef pho were excellent.

Kate • July 23, 2023An HK Cha Chan Tang where you’ll find your staples. I found the food to be a touch less flavorful than some of the other Cha Chan Tangs in Chinatown, though they have a larger menu selection

Ben M. • August 26, 2018The coffee here is great! Rich notes that go well with milk.

Kate • December 28, 2022Love the selection of books. It’s a small and cozy store with knowledgeable staff - they carry so many books from BIPOC authors and many mainstream best sellers as well.
